Overview
Taught by national experts, this hands-on workshop is designed to provide new information and skills for the care of pediatric patients by implementing innovative approaches, simulation, and technology in a small group setting. Program highlights include:
- Interactive simulation to provide training in crisis management
- Utilization of technology including ultrasound and infrared to enhance vascular visibility and cannulation for central, peripheral and arterial lines
- Strengthen difficult airway management for the pediatric patient by incorporating different airway devices
- PBLD sessions
- Earn four Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits
.
